To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
During all the two thousand years in which the Jews have been wander- ers on the globe, persecuted and despised, there has been no inducement for them to invest their money in landed estates, and their property has been of a moveable kind; but they are now buying land in America; and I tell you the land that a people stand on forms them more than they form the land by their agriculture; and more among us than anywhere else they become citizens. They come here to live and stay; and their childre...n will intermarry with ours; their blood will flow into the common stream with ours; and if their virtues might be incorporated with ours it would be of unspeakable advantage to ns. Where else, then, is prejudice against them so culpable as in our land? Let me say, in closing, that our brethren and fellow- citizens, the Jews, should not suffer themselves to be too much exercised by the petty slights or even public insults that are heaped upon them. A hero may be annoyed by a mosquito; but to put on his whole armor and call on all his followers to join him in making war on an insect would be beneath his dignity; and I think that for our friends, the Jews, to notice in any special manner this indignity which they have received will be to place too 32 much Importance upon it.
